Chapter 1119: The Old Monster
After the meal, Su Xiao left the Zoldik family's old castle and began to wander around the courtyard.
Since he ended up paying the commission, he wouldn't have been kept waiting long.
When Maha Zoldik appeared, there was no sense of mystery or startling power about him. He looked like an ordinary thin old man in a purple loose robe who was 1.4 meters tall.
The only thing that stood out about him was his big head, and coupled with his wrinkled skin, some people took him seriously for an alien.
— Young man, let me run your errand.
Maha Zoldik's body looked very weak, his arms were thin, and there were cracks on his pale lips.
— Faster than I thought, " Su Xiao muttered and pulled out the long sword from its scabbard.
In a castle not far away, several pairs of eyes were carefully observing the situation outside.
— I'm already old, and although I can teach you some things, you might very well die because of it, " Maha Zoldik said.
— … — Su Xiao didn't say anything, and only a light red aura spread out around him.
— When such young people die, it causes bitterness. At my age, the only thing of value is life, " along with these words, a black something burst out of Maha Zoldik's body.
The hair on Su Xiao's body immediately stood on end.
His intuition immediately warned him of the danger.
As a rule, Nan's energy was milky white or colorless, sometimes it was golden or purple, but in rare cases.
But this was Su Xiao's first time seeing Nan's black energy. This energy was essentially a person's life energy, however, this old man's life energy was black.
She represented death rather than life.
Right now, Su Xiao felt that this old man should have died a long time ago, but somehow managed to keep his body alive.
Su Xiao thought of the fourth son of the Zoldik family, Alluka Zoldik. Perhaps it was he who helped keep Maha Zoldik's body alive.
Alluka Zoldik wasn't scary in and of itself. What was terrifying was the creature that lived in his body, a creature from the Dark Continent. What was known about this creature was that it was female and responded to the name Nanika. She was in Alluka's body on a symbiotic basis, not a parasitic one.
*Phew~*
The light red aura around Su Xiao thickened, and more "black smoke" floated out from Maha Zoldik's body».
This black smoke gave off a very unpleasant feeling.
At this moment in Calluto Castle, Zoldik was standing at the window and watching them.
— What's it? Calluto asked with a strange expression, because a blood-red beast with a mouth full of sharp fangs appeared above Su Xiao, and a black skeleton that was smiling softly appeared above Maha Zoldik.
— A hallucination? Calluto muttered and rubbed his eyes, and it really helped — the evil beast and skeleton were gone.
*Boom!*
Along with the explosion, powerful gusts of wind scattered across the surrounding area.
All the windows of the castle were immediately blown apart, and the wind and shards of glass forced Calluto to step back.
— You can't come near me. If you are careless, you will die.
Explosions began to ring out endlessly in the courtyard and the ground flew in all directions.
Soon, a dense cloud of dust covered the courtyard, and in this cloud of dust, light blue flashes occasionally flashed.
Su Xiao stood in place with a sword in his hand, and dozens of energy shields hovered around him.
Half of them were covered in cracks and could break at any moment.
Blood dripped from Su Xiao's fingertips. There was a wound on his left arm. Maha was able to reach it, and this wound appeared not because of the old man's direct attack, but because of his weak tangent touch.
Maha Zoldik was also standing in a cloud of dust, and he didn't look like a human anymore.
His entire body was covered in black energy that represented evil and death.
Su Xiao and Maha clashed a total of three times. Neither side had a clear advantage over their opponent, and most importantly, in these skirmishes, Su Xiao was even practically able to get a swing.
Maha Zoldik was a type of "amplification". In his long life, he didn't develop any amazing and incredible techniques. He always maintained a simple but effective style of combining pure strength and speed, and this combination was complemented by his terrifying combat experience.
This old man had been fighting all his life, so he obviously had a huge amount of real-world experience, and moreover, he really had a lot to learn.
Maha Zoldik walked towards Su Xiao. His pace wasn't fast, but every step he took created afterimages.
Although they looked like typical afterimages that appeared due to the creature's excessive speed, in reality, all these images were real Maha Zoldik.
Su Xiao received his wound just because of this ruse.
Looking at his opponent, Su Xiao immediately jumped back.
An explosion rang out right in front of him, but almost immediately, a wild whistle rang out to his left.
Turning his head, he saw a withered fist.
*Pouf*
Three bloody cuts appeared on Su Xiao's cheek. They were like scratches from the paws of a wild beast, and these scratches hurt so much that it was simply unbearable to endure this pain.
And almost immediately, he felt his skin and the flesh on his cheek seem to slowly wither away.
Fortunately, Su Xiao had Qing Gang Yin energy in her body, so she quickly reached her cheek and began to destroy Nan's energy.
Before reaching his destination, Maha Zoldik immediately appeared from the other side and reached for Su Xiao's hand.
The timing and angle of capture were so perfect that he couldn't evade this move at all.
Dozens of shields immediately flew towards the old man, but almost immediately began to fly apart due to Maha's attack.
The sharp nails touched Su Xiao's forehead and drops of blood immediately appeared on it...
But in the next moment, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared.
Blood spurted out from the old man's back, but Maha's expression didn't even change, and his hands immediately rushed behind him in just an instant.
His arms were bent at the same angle that normal people would break their bones and dislocate their shoulders.
Except that Maha Zoldik's hands were very flexible, and his palms were wrapped in black energy as they gripped the blade of the sword.
With an unpleasant sound, the dragon's Flash cut through the energy on Maha's palms and split the skin on his palms.
Although the old man's body was thin, it was extremely sturdy, and due to the impact of this black energy, his body became even more sturdy and strong.
The next moment, there was a click, and Maha's head spun around. 180°.
Now they were face to face.
Su Xiao's expression didn't change at all and he only bent down slightly.
Maha Zoldik flew away from Su Xiao at great speed.
When he stopped, his old face finally showed pain.
Qing Gang Yin's energy began to corrode his body.
It was now obvious that neither Su Xiao nor Maha Zoldik were the type of people who would hold back during "friendly" sparring sessions.
Once they started fighting, they would fight with all their might.
— Father, this doesn't look good.
Instead of friendly sparring, it was more like a real fight.
